#catalytic strategies and mechanisms for enhancing MgH2 solid-state hydrogen storage MgH2 offers high hydrogen capacity but suffers from sluggish, surface-controlled dehydrogenation. This perspective highlights the “burst effect,” where the first surface dehydrogenation step is the main kinetic bottleneck, and uses it as a unifying framework to reinterpret #catalytic strategies, atomistic mechanisms, and theory-guided design. By linking surface chemistry to macroscopic kinetics, it outlines practical directions for catalyst development, descriptor discovery, and data-driven inverse design in solid-state hydrogen storage.

Reductive #catalytic upcycling of polyolefins at a crossroads: Toward sustainable fuel production Reductive #catalytic upcycling converts polyolefin waste into liquid fuels via hydrogen-assisted catalysis, supporting circular carbon. This commentary presents how, at present, this #catalytic approach to plastic upcycling stands at a strategic crossroads. Further progress will depend on the development and integration of three linked priorities: catalyst design enabled by atomic-level control and a shift from noble to non-noble metals, reactor engineering that delivers scalable operation, and hydrogen management that reduces demand and ensures low carbon supply.

Advances in #catalytic enantioconvergent construction of carbon-nitrogen bonds In this review, Zhao et al. summarize the recent trends and strategies for the enantioconvergent construction of C–N bonds to directly convert readily available racemic substrates into diverse enantioenriched amines. The scope encompasses not only functionalized substrates, such as propargylic esters, allenyl esters, and quinone methides, but also simple racemic substrates, such as alkyl halides, alcohols, and even alkanes.

Access to chiral spiroketals via #catalytic enantioselective halogenation of racemic olefinic hemiketals We report an enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of bromo-spiroketals via #catalytic asymmetric halocyclization of racemic olefinic hemiketals. A cross-assembled bifunctional catalyst system, comprising a chiral phosphoric acid and an achiral quinoline base, enables satisfactory stereocontrol. The resulting bromo-spiroketals serve as versatile precursors for late-stage functionalization into spiroketal diphosphine ligands, useful in metal-catalyzed asymmetric transformations.

#catalytic cis-selective [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of neutral alkenes with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes/ketones A catalyst-controlled cis-selective [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of neutral alkenes with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes/ketones has been developed. This reaction produced cyclobutanes in high yields (up to 87%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) and diastereoselectivities (>20:1 in most cases). The resulting donor-acceptor cyclobutanes could react with the aldehyde group and provided 3,4-dihydropyran enantioselectively under mild reaction conditions.
